7 ELAN AAA-SERIES
Only the most motivated athletes can leave the mainstream behind by pushing beyond their limits. We at ELAN would like to make this as exciting and easy as possible, while also ensuring everyone’s safety. An ELAN ski binding is the result of more than 85 years of research and development. An evolved technology enriched by the experience of the world’s top athletes who trust our bindings when they fly over cliffs, kickers and rails.
KEEPS YOU BRAVE.
The next level to Access All Areas is reached with the new AAAttack2 bindings. A new toe construction extends the possibilities of allmountain skiing.
Skiers prefer equipment which provides control, performance and usability. Not only for clear slopes and untracked powder areas, also for stoked park and half pipe rides. The ELAN AAAttack2 reaches the next stage in combining functionality and modern design to meet these demands. A perfect tool for all-around skiers who are willing to attack!
The new FR PRO2 Toe: The FR PRO2 AT Toe: The new standard toe construction in the The AAAttack2 14 AT can be AAAttack2 line – FR PRO2 - is compatible adjusted to Alpine (Type A ISO with Alpine and GripWalk ski boots. 5355) and GripWalk boots, but The super secure 77mm metal Anti also up to Walk Sole, Walk To Ride Friction Device – AFD Metal – can be and Touring ski boots adjusted to Alpine Boots (Type A ISO (Type T ISO 9523). 5355) and GripWalk Boots.
Safety First
To increase the safety and performance aspect of the new AAAttack2 bindings, a new release kinematic was developed to reduce friction and guarantee more constant release values. The interaction between the spring and the tension element is designed as a new system that significantly reduces friction, for even more precise and constant release values. Every toe piece is calibrated before packaging to ensure exact DIN settings.
8 AAAttack2 AT DEMO models, modified versions of the AAAttack Freeski bindings, are the first demo freeski binding, suitable for rental, that are anchored on a metal toe track. This unique feature ensures a lower stand height, a more compact design and increased stability compared with other bindings.
FR PRO2 AT Toe: The AAAttack2 AT DEMO models can be adjusted to Alpine (Type A ISO 5355) and GripWalk boots, but also up to Walk Sole, Walk To Ride and Touring ski boots (Type T ISO 9523). With these bindings, boot-binding compatibility issues during demos or rentals are relegated to the past. To avoid displacements during handling of the skis, the length adjustment lever of the demo models is now better integrated.
The AAAttack2 AT DEMO models provide a modified PowerRail track under the heel piece, making it easy to adjust manually.
Since this easy to adapt AAAttack2 AT DEMO Freeski binding model was designed for a wide range of sole lengths, it can be adjusted to all avai- lable alpine boot sole lengths from 259 to 382 mm, tool-free in a matter of seconds, by moving the toe and heel pieces.

1. FUSION
The Fusion System is the world’s first truly 1 integrated ski binding system, paving the 2 3 way for faster turn initiation, smoother flex 1 Click-in bindings 1 and easier turning and enhanced ed- ge-to-edge responsiveness. 2 Central locking mechanism
The Fusion binding system now has an 3 Syncro movement upgrade. Its features include easier hand- 4 Stability 4 ling with tool-less mounting and synchro- 5 nous movement, better performance with 5 Freeflex freeflex under the binding and improved stability and a considerable 15% / minus 6 Wide binding hold 6 330 g weight reduction per ski. Designed by the acclaimed Porsche Design Studio, the upgraded Fusion got the look, too!
2. SHIFT The Shift System is built with a lean profi- 2 le comprised of lightweight materials, and designed to offer optimized performance. The foundation of the Shift System is a plate-in-plate free flex design that allows the ski to bend along its length. Additio- nally, vibration absorbers dampen chatter between the ski and the plate, improving 5 the connection between the skier's feet. 6 Wide ABS platform creates optimal power transfer further increasing precision and 1 edge hold.

3 POWER TRANSFER PLATFORM Delivers optimal power transfer further increasing precision and edge hold.
4 VIBRATION ABSORBERS Improve comfort and provide a smooth ride in any situation.
12 3. FREEFLEX EVO Freeflex EVO reduces the impact on the natural flex of the ski to a mi- nimum. The new construction of the roller pincer system and its wings guarantee utmost stability. The newly designed longer wings overlap better with the ski boot and hence in less forward pressure. ELAN de- veloped an intelligent Race AFD gliding element which moves together with the ski flex enabling constant contact between boot and binding in all flex situations. The synchro adjustment of the wings provides pre- cise adjustment to ski boot sole heights, preventing wobbling between binding and boot.
4. SUPERLITERAIL - SLR II
The SLR (SuperLiteRail) System is based on a new construction using highly valuable materials for improved weight distribution, lightweight de- sign and it guarantees durability.
SUPERLITERAIL II – Bindings-Base System below 1700g! With the 2-piece SLR II base, weight was reduced significantly. Only 1680 grams per pair makes this adult system extraordinarily light for a DIN 9 binding, due to a base weight of only 280 g and a refined lighter binding const- ruction with 1400g binding weight. The base offers 3 different mounting positions to cover boot sole lengths between 199 and 347 mm.
5. QUICKTRICK / POWERRAIL
The one-of-a-kind rail system developed by ELAN meets the demands of the adult skier market and is perfectly suited for both the retail and rental sectors! The PowerRail is a true success due to its great number of fea- tures: easiest handling, maximum flexibility, optimal performance, perfect matching, increased stability and durability. In addition, the toe and heel guides can be replaced or fitted to provide long-term performance.
Powerrail System is a modular system for maximum flexibility. Different bases - PowerRail PR and TWIN PR - can be combined with special dampeners in different widths and colors for optimal ski-fitting and further- more different binding models (EL 11.0 MBS and EL 10.0) are available.
Mounting and adjusting of all rail bindings is extremely simple and without any additional tool: Open the toe/heel- lever and slide the toe/heel on the rail and lock at the appropriate boot sole length and close the lever – READY to GO!
6. RX/SX KINEMATICS The RX and SX product lines were developed using kinematics based on laboratory measurements and tests. The advantages: enhanced perfor- mance and safety.
Vertically – whether it is iced up, dirty or worn, Considerably improved canting stability Horizontally – more stability for the boot is always precisely secure due to the for better edge grip and faster edge to more direct power transmission linear adaptation to the height of the ski boot edge turns. from boot to edge. sole. This ensures precise and powerful turns.
13 TECHNICAL INFORMATION SAFETY FEATURES
ONLY PERFECTION PROVIDES SAFETY A special dedication to Active Safety is a core value at ELAN. Unique safety features, such as the exclusive ABS band and Diagonal Heel offer optimal protection for every skier.
FULL DIAGONAL – TOE (RX Toe) The new RX Toe features more than improved aerodynamics. The Full Diagonal Release function delivers intelligent 180° release both horizontally and vertically – therefore ensuring maximum safety in backward twisting- fall situations. TRP TOE SYSTEM The Roller Pincer – Toe System (TRP System) of the ELAN bindings with its four rollers and gliding inserts ensures a 180° release and exact centering of the ski boot. The TRP system reduces the load on knees and ligaments and improves perfor- mance considerably.
ABS – ANTI BLOCKING SYSTEM FREEFLEX PRO The exclusive technology of the ABS continuous Optimal performance through the innovative Freeflex Pro System. The band allows the boot to move out of the binding free-gliding heel allows the ski to bend through unimpeded and to retain its almost without any friction, hence delivering maxi- natural dynamics. Due to the reduced stand height, the Freeflex band is now mum safety in case of icing up, dirt and boot wear. much closer to the ski boot. Constant release values reduce the risk of injury and ensure safe turns.

ATTACK2 AT 11/13 DEMO The next generation of Attack2 AT DEMO models (Attack2 AT DEMO 13 and Attack2 AT DEMO 11) can be adjusted to Alpine (ISO 5355) and Touring ski boots (ISO 9523), including GripWalk, Walk Sole and Walk To Ride ski boots. With these bindings, boot-binding compatibility issues during demos or rentals are relegated to the past. The length adjustment lever is now more integrated in order to avoid displacements during handling of the skis.
RENT HEEL AND RX/SX TOE The Rent heel features improved ergonomics, resistance and better protection against abrasion plus an optimized scale window – thus combi- ning visual quality with safety and stability. Most of the Rental binding models are equipped with the RX and SX toes with improved kinematics, and the proven Rent One Touch system optimized and much appreciated for rental purposes.
ONE TOUCH SYSTEM The innovative One Touch System used for the ELAN Rental bindings ensures the simplest possible operation and length adjustment of toes and heels. Because – especially in the Rental sector – time is also money!
SINGLE CODE The Single Code guarantees that rental agreements are processed in record time. There is only one unit of size in the form of clearly color coded letters. This enables toe, heel and boot to be adjusted very quickly so that more customers can be served in lesstime.
SYMPRO SYSTEM With the Rental Sympro, the length of the toe and heel can be adjusted with only a few easy steps for fast on-hill adjustment. The SP Rental bindings are suitable for any ski without an integrated system.
SYMRENT SYSTEM With a mobile heel that can be simply and very quickly adjusted to almost any size of boot, this binding is ideal for mounting on any rental ski.
GRIPWALK COMPATIBILITY Fast on hill adjustments of toe and heel piece, high durability for long lasting rental performance and single code scale for easiest adaptation of the boot-binding system are now completed with an increased compatibilty of ski boot sole standards. The new ESP 10.0 GW and ESP 10.0 GW TRACK models are compatible with Alpine Adult (ISO 5355) and GripWalk (ISO 9523) ski boots. TECHNICAL INFORMATION SYMPRO - ESP / SYMRENT - ESR 18.19

29 TECHNICAL INFORMATION ELAN BRAKE LINE 2018/19
1. Power Brake2 for [A],[B],[D] and [F] ELAN introduced the Power Brake2 with a better retraction up to 30 mm in comparison to former brakes. These brakes retract completely to the heel housing. ELAN reduces the amount of brake models in PB segments [A],[B],[D] and [F] due to new width split – 85/95/110/130/150 (from 26 to 19 models). Power Brake2 features fully compatibility – new brakes match with old bindings and old brakes match with new bindings
2. IDENTIFICATION AND NAMING SYSTEM To make the brake–binding allocation as easy as possile, we are using a color coding system. In addition to the standard product labels of the spare brakes, a color-letter code is affixed on the brake boxes (single and master packaging).
All bindings packaged without brakes will come with a similar sticker. Matching brakes and bin- dings has become fast and easy. For a binding with a red sticker [A], the dealer just has to look for a brake with a red sticker [A] in the proper width. The segmentation and colorcoding system can be found in the ELAN brake line on the next page.
Also the nomenclature of all ELAN brakes is standardized and includes all basic information. These nomenclature consist of a clear name, a number, what defines the maximum ski width at the mounting point and a letter, what specifies the brake cluster.
3. STANDARDIZATION OF BRAKE GROUP [E] AND [J] ELAN made a standardization of the former Brake group [E] and [J]. That means, these 2 groups will be combined in the new group [E], [J] in the first step and after existing stock is delivered the [E] will be deleted completely from our brake line (running change).
Following changes are already done: • No further production of all brakes in group [E] • 2 new Brakes in group [J] with width of 100mm (163067) and 115mm (163068) will be added • 162764 SL Junior Brake 72 [J] was replaced by the 163058 SL Junior Brake 78 [J]
Adaption of the name: • “Junior“ will be deleted from the name • New group- name will be “SL Brake XX [E],[J]” • New sticker for [E] or [J] brakes

4. W/O BRAKE BINDING MODELS ELAN is offering some binding models without brakes, (marked “w/o brake”) to avoid brake exchanges later on and to provide suitable brakes for different ski widths.

DETERMINING YOUR SKIER TYPE IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY! Your Skier Type, height, weight, age and boot sole length are used by the shop technician to determine the release/ retention settings for your bindings. Consult these descriptions to select your classification. Be sure to provide accurate information. Errors increase your risk of injury.

FOR ATTACK2 BINDINGS Place the tester on the AFD and enter the boot in the binding. Lift the tip of the boot to take out the play of the toe. (Pict. 13) For mounting the toe unit at Attack2 bindings, place the mounting part over the front 2 drilled holes and tighten the screws. Now slide the toe unit from the rear over the mounting part and fasten the screws. Go on Pict. 13 by mounting the heel unit. Hook the brake into heel housing and place 1 the heel unit over the predrilled holes and tighten the screws in a cross pattern. (Pict.11)

77 MOUNTING BOOT SOLE TYPES - ISO STANDARDS
1. BOOT STANDARDS Pict. 2 Actually there are two different boot sole standards on the market. The A...Adult C...Children ISO 5355 (corresponding to binding standard ISO 9642)defines all alpine boots for adults and children and the ISO 9523 (corresponding to binding standard ISO 13992) defines a wide range of touring ski boots, including Grip Walk, Walk Sole and Walk To Ride.
Alpine Touring ISO 5355 ISO 9523
TYPE A Adults TYPE T
TYPE C TOURING BOOTS ISO 9523 Children GripWalk In case there is no other marking, in addition to ISO 9523, the boot is a regular touring boot, neither belonging to GripWalk nor Walk Sole/Walk To Walk Sole Ride. In this case the boot will only work in bindings with AT compatibility. Walk To Ride
Pict. 3 New sub categories (GripWalk, Walk Sole and Walk To Ride) try to combine the advantages of both standards: • To offer more grip and better walkability compared to ALPINE boots. A profiled sole made of softer material offers a superior walking grip and is less slippery than a standard ski boot sole. A rockered sole offers a more comfortable natural roll motion. • To also offer better skiability and increased safety compared to TOURING boots (hard contact area, stiffer material, alpine boot design) and the same safe release function and power transmission as an alpine boot. • The boots are designed not according to ISO 5355 (ALPINE), but to ISO 9523 (TOURING) specifications, which means they will work only on bindings with the corresponding compatibility.
2. BOOT IDENTIFICATION In general, all boots should be marked with the corresponding standard. In most cases you will find the indication on the sole pads of the boot. TOURING BOOTS ISO 9523 - GripWalk To help identify a GripWalk boot the GripWalk icon and ISO marking are ALPINE BOOTS ISO 5355 incorporated in the sole. The boot is also marked with a sticker placed in the toe area. Boots will also show a GripWalk print on the side of the Pict. 1 heel pad. The Sticker comes from the factory on boots with pre-mounted GripWalk soles or it needs to be placed in the toe area if the pads are retrofitted.

TOURING BOOTS ISO 9523 - Walk Sole TOURING BOOTS ISO 9523 – Walk To Ride (WTR) boots The replaceable Walk soles are color-coded in orange. The ISO 9523 To identify Walk To Ride boots please check the boot for the Walk To Ride marking is visible on the toe pad (Pict.5). You will find the WALK - logo on logo and the ISO identification (ISO 9523). This information is generally the side of the heel pad (Pict.6). shown, directly on the sole of the toe and heel pad.
3. BOOT-BINDING COMPATIBILITY In case of uncertainty, the dealer should check the instructions of use of the binding. It lists all compatible boot types:
E.g. for an Attack2 GW E.g. for an Attack2 AT E.g. for an MBS model

RACING (X) - BINDINGS Certain binding models are produced by each year for the exclusive use Pict. 13 of qualified competitors under the supervision of ELAN Technical Spe- cialists. Racing bindings offer release/retention settings outside of those on the ELAN Release/Retention Adjustment Table, which is based upon ISO/ ASTM Safety Standards. These bindings can be serviced under the De- aler Indemnity Program if proper procedures are followed. We recommend you decline to service them and that you warn against their use unless you have training or experience as a race technician and your customer is a high-level competitor who clearly states a need for these bindings.

12. TEST YOUR DRILL TEMPLATE A worn or damaged drill template could create a lot of trouble. Please check your templates periodically:
1. Position the fully extended drill template on a discarded ski. 2. Turn the clamping lever to open the clamping jaws of the mounting template. 3. Position the template properly on the ski so that the boot center marking is aligned with the mounting point described on the ski. 4. Let go of the clamping lever. The template clamps automatically. 5. Drill all the holes. 6. Remove the mounting template and clean the ski. 7. Measure the holes with a slide gauge. 8. The distance of the screw holes to the edge of the ski must be equal for each pair of related holes. The deviation must not be more than 1 mm. 9. Repeat the test, if greater deviations occur. 10. The mounting template must be discarded if greater deviations occur again!
